Job description

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.

As the Principal Product Manager of Vanta’s Platform teams, you will define and deliver the core capabilities that power all of Vanta’s products: Identity (RBAC, SCIM), Permissions, Enterprise Admin, Collaboration (notifications, tasks, comments), Billing Infrastructure, and other shared product experiences. This is a deeply technical and highly crossfunctional role. You’ll define platform strategy in tight partnership with Engineering, Design, and GTM teams, and drive major companywide initiatives that enable scale, shaping the internal platforms that product teams build on top of, as well as experiences our largest customers rely on every day. You’ll also contribute to the definition of Vanta’s product team culture and processes, while providing mentorship to a growing team of PM’s.

    • Performance & scalability of the platform for our largest customers

    • Enterprise adminsecurity experiences (identity, billing, etc.)

    • Collaboration primitives (notifications, tasks, comments)

      • Partner crossfunctionally across Engineering, Design, PMM, Sales, and Support to define and deliver seamless platform experiences

      • Mentor and coach PMs working on platformadjacent areas and contribute to broader product team culture

        • How to be successful in this role:

          • 15+ years of product management experience, with significant time spent in platform or infrastructureadjacent teams

          • Deep technical fluency — able to engage in architecture discussions, make systemlevel tradeoffs, and work closely with senior engineers

          • Experience scaling B2B SaaS platforms from SMB to Enterprise (e.g. identity systems, permissioning, internal tooling, extensible primitives)

          • Proven ability to set product vision and influence strategy across teams or product areas

          • A track record of driving impact through ambiguity — bringing clarity, prioritization, and execution to complex problem spaces

          • Passion for building high quality products with speed, and drive that culture across the organization

          • Strong product instincts, user empathy, and a collaborative working style

          • Proven ability to coach and mentor PMs, helping them translate highlevel strategy into actionable team roadmaps.

              • Offices in SF, NYC, Dublin, and Sydney

                • To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base pay ranges for all USbased job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similarstage growth companies.

                  We started in 2018, in the wake of several highprofile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fastgrowing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security. From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the worlds leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged.

                  Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a pointintime check— is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way thats realtime and transparent.
